Hehe being too aggressive in my opinion anyway try to surround the whole of the shore provinces in America that way they cant send more colonists in i think... anyway nice aar so far
Castille's armies need some time to march to the front. You'll see them in today's update!Toshan said:Suspense! No castillian armys moving through France? Are they concentrating on the navy?
If you are playing on 1.3, 8 ships is nothing. The AI will regularly have navy stacks of 40-50 ships. In this game, Austria had only a single coastal province, but at the time of these updates well over 40 ships.The Legend said:Wow thats a lot of ships. the highest i ever had was 8 i think anyway the swiss seem to be doing well btw how bigs there army

By the way, can the papal states form Italy?
Thanks! No, the Papal States cannot form Italy, they have Umbrian as primary culture. You need Lombard as primary culture to be able to form Italy. From events/italiannation.txt:Nehekara said:What a lovely AAR!

Why, thank you! I can't say that I'm not pleased to hear your words! In all modesty, there are by far better aars out there than mine. Perhaps I can direct you to America: Largest of the British Isles, by Moquel. He's playing England and is following a simple, but intriguing goal: all provinces in America have to be of British culture. This means he has to wage many wars with the colonial powers to prevent them from establishing themselves in the New World. A very good read!chefportnen said:Very good AAR, one of the best for EU3 and for AARland! I haven't seen one like this in a while, not since Operation: Liberation, and I will definitely keep an eye on it.
The current Pope, Paulus II, has decided to recruit his bodyguards from his two allies: Teutonic Knights (can't beat German efficiency!) and Venetians (can't put a price on loyalty). We'll see how this works out!chefportnen said:Who'll replace the Swiss Guard now that you can't trust them? The Venetians?
Correct! Let's see... I loaded a savegame and took some pages out of the ledger. All this is a substitute for tomorrow's update -- I'll get sizeably drunk tonight, so I'd better not use a computer tomorrowchefportnen said:I spy with my little eye, a France about to get owned.
What was the extent of the Reformation in this game?
We'll see, we'll see... Let's just say that the pope does not forget, and that the Papal Archives are fully staffed and record even the slightest misdeed!Corbett said:What a treacherous backstab! I'd add an item #4 to that list: Burgundy's cowardice in dishonouring its alliance with you. All too soon will come the day of reckoning for that pathetic act.
